Paul_cz: Interesting, I am playing through Bioshock 2 - Minerva's Den right now and have no idea what hyperbole are you on about.
slash11: I played only bioshock 1 and it was crap. There is a typical mouse smoothing activated and that is typical for console ego shooter and thus is crap for a pc player. Also AI, level design and the walt disney style graphics gave me the rest.
Hyperbole galore! Mouse smoothing was disabled in patch, Bioshock 2 and Minerva control perfectly. AI is usual, like in any other game. Design is matter of subjective preference, some love it, some hate it, some are meh to it. I love Art Deco style, so I like it.
Bioshock series is inferior to say, Deus Ex, but compared to most other shooters it is above them.
